Excellent afternoon in Scotland learning paddle boarding with Ocean Vertical. Excellent teaching and fun all facilitated in this case by Jacob. He makes you feel at ease learning new skills in the water and helps you build up confidence with a natural approach to teaching. I will no doubt repeat! Thank you very much!!!

We did a basic winter mountain skills course, learning avalanche awareness, safe use of crampons and an ice axe. It was really interesting to highlight the dangers of fresh or unstable snow, and how it can be traversed safely or when to call it and head back down off the mountain. Ice axe self arrest was fun too, sliding down the mountain and stopping yourself! The instructors, Mollie and Stevie were great and very knowledgeable. Great weekend.. Thanks!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Winter Hillwalking Experience with Ocean Vertical. After a few days of snow had fallen in the Highlands we booked at pretty short notice and had a brilliant day on Stob aChoire Odhair with Stevie. Conditions - and Stevies choice of mountain given the mixed forecast - were perfect. We learnt a huge amount about being in the mountains in winter (planning, decision-making, use of equipment) and had a whole lot of fun in the process. The smiles at the summit said it all! Stevie took the time to find out what we all wanted from the day and managed the different levels in our group really well, giving just the right level of support and encouragement to the less confident (me!) as well as the right level of challenge to the more confident. Communication before the day was excellent and the pick up and drop off service was great; it means you arrive at the hill fresh (and can snooze on the way home after the day's adventures... ) We're looking forward to our next OV trip!
